I just signed up for health insurance through my new job. $50/week for me and the wife on Tufts with a dental and vision package as well as life insurance.
Do I need to worry about this jabberwocky at all? Will I be struck by a drone soon? Will LA cops come to my house and kill me?

How common that is cones down to your state, many pages back there was a nice graphic demonstrating it.
NY average policy is down 40% or so, NV is up over 100% on average. So in NV it would be trivial to find someone with those types of stories, NY it would be unheard of.
(Although note the states with really high increases often allowed ridiculously low benefits that are being improved upon drastically in addition to cost)

"The people in there told me that sinceI didn't have an insurance card, I would be billed for the whole cost of the x-ray,' Galvez said, her young daughter in tow. 'It's not fair ? you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to."

They also have caveats on the website stating that benefits started within the enrollment period can experience delays of up to 6 weeks during which reimbursement can be sent in postpaid instead of prepaid.
So due to her delaying it til the last minute she might have to get reimbursed instead of it prepaying... BOOGODDAMHOO. Its annoying but its how the system already worked.

Got my new bill-thingy and it looks about as estimated. A base $200/month less plus visits and prescriptions are cheaper so should probably be saving the estimated $3000-$4000/year.
Thanks Obama!
Thanks Obama!
Psst.
If it was Big Government healthcare you wouldn't have to worry about paying at all.

That's the funny thing, nothing about how insurance is working is new. Looking things up is pretty godawful. People don't carry their cards, or they carry old cards, or their plan didn't change but the card still has new information. Looking things up in a retail pharmacy is unreliable at best, I imaging looking things up in a hospital is even worse.
That isn't Obamacare, that is insurance. I'm all for making insurance look terrible, though.

No it hasn't, not for the past few years anyway. They've been able to look up your coverage in a big ass database for a while now.
I'm almost always asked for an insurance card and photo ID to prove it's my name on the card whenever I go somewhere they don't know me. Been that way for years.

People are fucking morons. When i signed up for my plan, i received an email from my insurance carrier and opened up an account on their website. This account had all the information necessary including a temporary insurance card. Fucking idiots are not even bothering to check all information that they can before complaining about shit. I wish i had a virus that could kill stupid people

Don't you people have jobs to get a real plan from? Enjoy your overpriced, high deductible, under-networked, Medicaid-lite, shitsurance.

I called my carrier to make payment and get my paperwork, guy on phone said I had to wait for the hardcopy stuff to arrive, that I could not make a payment over the phone or do anything online yet. Two weeks later it hasn't arrived yet.People are fucking morons. When i signed up for my plan, i received an email from my insurance carrier and opened up an account on their website.
